Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the insertion device includes at least one camera positioned at the distal end of the delivery shaft, and wherein removing at least the portion of the material from the patient include displaying images from the camera on a second screen of the display.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first screen and the second screen are adjacent on the display.
6. The method of claim 2, further comprising: obtaining a second set of image data from the imaging device, and using a processing unit to compare the second set of image data with the coded image generated based on the first set of image data.
8. The method of claim 1, further including indicating a location of the material relative to an organ of the patient, identifying the material to be removed from the organ of the patient based on density, and indicating whether the material can be removed from the organ of the patient with a retrieval device.
11. The system of claim 10, wherein the system further comprises the retrieval device configured to be delivered through the lumen of the delivery shaft to remove at least a portion of the material.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the delivery shaft of the insertion device is deflectable, and wherein a distal end of the delivery shaft includes a light source.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the insertion device includes at least one camera positioned at the distal end of the delivery shaft, and wherein the at least one camera is connected to display to display images from the camera on a second screen of the display adjacent to the first display.
14. The system of claim 10, wherein the control unit is configured to receive a second set of image data from the imaging device, analyze the second set of image data based on at least one of a darkness, a contrast, or a saturation, and generate a second coded image identifying the material to be removed from the patient to be displayed on the display, wherein the second coded image includes an indication of whether the material can be removed from the patient with the retrieval device extended through the lumen of the delivery shaft of the insertion device.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, further including the step of comparing a second set of image data with the coded image generated based on the first set of image data.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17, further including the step of, based on the comparison of the second set of image data with the generated coded image and the first set of image data, indicating progress of a material removal procedure.
